    Major noob question

    Haha welll that's pretty clear then. Find the right rims for what your trying

    Major noob question

    No, it is confusing. I know the numbers do not line up. I have 2 20 inch bike wheels which will fit 16 inch moto tires, and i have 2 16 inch bike wheels which line up to fit 12 inch mini moto tires. At least as diameter. Im concerned specifically about bead mounting surface diameter. So will a...

    Major noob question

    Thank you for your experience and knowledge AW. The 2 donor bikes i have are a 16 inch and a 20 inch so actual rim sizes would line up for a 16 inch moto tire or 12 inch moto tire in terms of rim diameter. My confusion is if the wheels which each only appear to be visually about an inch or so...

    Major noob question

    Forks and stays are going to be built to whatever size I need. Im just curious if physically they can be mounted safely I have 2 sets of rims i can use from donor bikes, one diameter is good for 12 inch sized tire and the other is a 20inch bike set so 16 inch or fat bike tires, I guess I've...

    Major noob question

    I will look. Im looking to see if scooter/mini motorcycle tires would fit. Like 120/70r12s lol

    Major noob question

    So...how do I know how wide a tire I can fit on a rim? Like 120mm on a standard width bmx wheel?

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Thank you for the encouragement. I absolutely loved riding my ebike as trashtastic as it was, so hopefully I can get to working on this

    There's no way to have a freewheeling hub motor right?

    If you have to pedal, or want to pedal, its unnecessarily difficult with the drag. You could similulate a freewheel or just enough assistance to make it like a normal bike

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Yeah I think ultimately the grins would be nice, but very pricey indeed. Im sort of rolling around some ideas. A used velo would potentially be an idea, however they obviously limit a potential passenger i think. Im thinking I may end up having to phase build the thing, ya know like phase 1...

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Greatly appreciate any scientific info and ratios. Im hoping to have a faired vehicle similarity to toe cutters, but usable in the snow belt here. My initial thought was hub motors on each front wheel at 1.5kw-2kw range peaking maybe around 5 if I went momentarily stupid, but coupled with a rear...

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    I'll definitely take a look later. I sort of figured balance would be important for a few reasons and side to side would seem to be a harder imbalance to sort vs front/back balance. If anything i may be a bit too light in the rear

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Lol, i guess I could be slightly more clear. I was thinking of a faired unit so if he's in the rear seat he would be unable to put feet or hands in not good places. Looks like I'm stuck at 60v which is probably fine as 95% of my riding will be around my town anyway and under 35mph

    My first ebike build: custom-built KMX-based electric velomobile

    Do you still have that same plastic shell on the kmx or did you change it around?

    My first ebike build: custom-built KMX-based electric velomobile

    Well the purpose is to let the outside wheel roll faster than the inner, yes the inside will try to push but the outer will increase in speed through the turn. It's main benefit is more of if one speed loses traction vs being sped up as in through a turn

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    So it seems around 18-35ish per mile? Sorry I'm not 100% on the conversion haha or to simplify the shell reduces energy use by half?

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    I've followed your build thread a lot and was curious if you have a wh/mi calculation on that velo you mentioned? I didnt see one in my reading... Back to topic

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Glennb, that makes sense. Yes my modules are 8s 67ah. And capable of over 400amps continuous. Depending on many factors, the very large majority of use should be in town/rural so under 45mph. As it sits im sorting a bunch out and going to reuse my 48v 1kw motor that I could get 27mph out of on...

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    I didnt really think of throttle response aspect of things. It seems I should do what makes sense most and run the 60 for a while then decide 🤔. Maybe 60 will end up meeting my desired usability for 90% of the time and it won't make sense to go higher. I live in a very small town where across...

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Each of my groups has the same ah, that's what I meant, not just a voltage change. A 3rd pack in series would be 90v at the same ah.. but overall 6kwh

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Right so I guess more to your consideration.. I know 90v will give me 50% more range with an identical pack with kwh, so say speeds stay relatively reasonable. Is there any reason to say...stay at 60v vs going to 90? My packs won't care about draw at either, I just know it'll be a lower C rating...

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Hmm good point. Around my town it'll be under 40-45 pretty much always so maybe I need to rethink motor selection? I was thinking using a mid drive in the back for selecting gear ratio if/when needed

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Lol I guess I didn't specify... no. Just want to have that speed capability for my own...idiot moments. Anytime with him would be much more civil

    Looking for voltage/advice new build 60v vs 90v

    Hello, im developing a recumbent tadpole for my own use, maybe a little bigger than a single rider as i have a little one who im gonna have room for him or a cargo area behind the main rider. I currently have a high power 60v system I'm working on my design with, and I'm wondering if the jump to...
